Software for connecting remotely to a computer at home
Software for connecting remotely to a computer at home
so, over the past few years i've been using teamviewer to access my desktop from my laptop when i'm in bed. however, i've always felt performance was seriously lacking... i'm hoping to find a system like steam in-home streaming, but for a full desktop, instead of just a game. (i have multiple monitors, if its only capable of streaming the primary monitor thats fine, if i can switch between monitors that'd be great) honestly, if latency is under 500ms i'd be happy, especially if combined with a decent fps and watchable image. it shouldnt be too hard seeing what the nzxt doko is capable of, and honestly, i've had a playable experience using steam "in-home" streaming a few miles away from my house. (however, i'm only gonna use the remote desktop utility at home, unless its a worthy teamviewer replacement) gonna add the specs of the two machines involved: desktop: i7 4790k 16GB ram GTX970 win 8.1 laptop: i7 2670QM 6GB ram GT540 win7 home premium depending on how much my access point hates me the speed between the machines is somewhere between 5Mbit and 40Mbit.

The home premium isn't the main problem; it's the 8.1 (non-pro) version. Otherwise, I would have attempted that.
It doesn't appear to function at all... however, thank you for your effort.
Steam offers a reliable way to access content from one device, though setting it up can be challenging. Remote desktop tools typically prioritize remote access over streaming, often disabling hardware acceleration to minimize lag. Streaming platforms usually concentrate on video playback rather than full remote functionality.
I previously used Notepad++, but it doesn't appear to function as effectively now... (encountered major visual problems, essentially rendering the link inoperable)
For a safer approach than exposing your RDP port publicly, LogMeIn offers strong online protection, though network speed might vary. At home gaming, Steam’s in-home streaming performs well.
